Apartment Eligibility
Apartment housing placement is now using an “Apartment Lottery” to ensure all students that apply before the priority deadline receive a fair and equal chance of getting into an apartment. Click HERE to review all the steps of the Housing Application Process
Lottery Process:
- Apartment application is on March 1st and will remain open. The priority deadline is March 15th at midnight.
-
Applications received by the priority deadline are assigned a random lottery number on March 16th. If you don't see your number in your Student Portal, check that your application is filled out completely and submitted.
-
Priority for Apartment Housing offers:
-
Complete Groups by Lottery Number: (ie. 4 applicants naming each other out of 4 beds) will be evaluated in order of lowest lottery number in the group, for an apartment. All students in the complete group will be offered the apartment.
-
Incomplete Groups by Lottery Number: The lottery number will determine your apartment offering order. The lowest lottery number will be evaluated first, and so on in ascending order.
- If there is remaining apartment availability, we will try to accommodate students without complete groups based on the Housing application selection and specific requests.
Notes:
-
If you did not get a lottery number, you missed the priority deadline
-
You can choose to remain in the apartments wait list
-
If you opted for Room & Board as a secondary option, wait for the Room & Board reveal date
-
Specific requests will be honored if availability allows.
-
Housing offers are based on availability. If you receive an offer, you can accept or decline it.
-
Accepting will guarantee housing for you at TWU. If you accept and don't make a deposit within 7 days, you lose your option to secure housing. The pre-payment will still be applied to your account. Your application will be withdrawn.
-
Declining will constitute as a withdrawal.
